Still haven't seen the aspect of human life that has gotten worse since the cross. Can you share one?

Yeah there some some stuff that is getting much worse - here's a few for consideration:

Matthew 24:4,5
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

1 Timothy 4:1,2
Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron

2 Timothy 4:3,4
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine (teaching); but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

2 Peter 2:1-3
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying (contradicting, Not agreeing with) the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness (idolatry) shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.

Jude 1:4
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (no self control, living after the flesh), and denying (contradicting, opposing Jesus’ teachings) the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (referring to false teachers and false brethren - see Matthew 13:24-30)

Jude 1:17-21
Remember the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
These are those who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Matthew 24:3-13
What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (including saying “I am anointed”); and shall deceive many.
And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation (ethnic group vs ethnic group), and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in many different places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (See 1 John 5:3 AND 2 John 1:6)
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Acts 20:27-30
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

Yeah, most of that was referring to the destruction of Israel in the 1st century.
 
That happens in the New Testament to Christians who turn away from God and choose to do sinful stuff.

Romans 8:12,13 - Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Galatians 6:7,8 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Preachers now days claim we can sin and not be separated from the Lord (spiritual death)

Thank the Lord that He has provided a way for those who forsake their sin and confess it to be cleansed and be in right standing with the Lord once again.

It's pretty messed up that so many have been falsely taught that we can live in sin and still be in right standing with the Lord which is mocking God according to Galatians 6:7,8
Yep!

The moment we sin our spiritual fellowship with God dies.
Our fellowship dies, but we remain saved because of the Cross.

God's solution for tripping the circuit breaker?

To reset it to "on"? Use 1 John 1:9.
1 John 1:9 resets the spiritual flow and restores fellowship with the Spirit.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9​

That was just the dress rehearsal.

The actual great tribulation is yet to come.

Since you think it all happened back in 70 AD, will you be taking the chip in your hand or forehead and pledging allegiance to the coming one world leader?

May as well right?

When that all goes down in modern times you'll believing it couldn't be the mark of the beats of the anti-christ due to your preterist beliefs right?

Have you noticed an influx of wackado's the last week or so?

Our fellowship dies, but we remain saved because of the Cross.

Oh, so we can go ahead and live in sin then believing we will still go to Heaven?

Romans 11:21,22
For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

It's funny that Romans 11:21,22 says if we do not continue in His goodness we shall be cut off.

And your definition is being cut off still means we go to Heaven?

This sort of teaching is why so many claiming to be Christians are living in sin, because they are being told they will still go to Heaven even if they live in sin which of course is false doctrine (doctrines of devils)

2 Peter 2:20
For if after they have escaped the pollution of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

2 Timothy 2:12
If we deny Him, He also will deny us

Romans 6:14-16
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

God's Word does not agree with the false doctrines of the false teachers claiming our broken fellowship does not mean we still won't go to Heaven.

If that were actually true, then we could all just go back to living in sin and the worse that would happen is when we get to Heaven we would just get a shack on the back side of glory instead of a mansion rolleyes2.gif

Those warnings were written to a particular audience. What do you think is worse than being the covenant people of God and losing that covenantal position?
 
Have you noticed an influx of wackado's the last week or so?

Yeah, seems like a lot of fruity calvinist types are around, and those teaching we are still saved even if we turn away from the Lord and go back to living in sin. Weird.
 
Read my above post. Improved for who?
All mankind. Is medical care better? Is food preservation and growth better? Is water cleaner and more accessible? Do we work less by the sweat of our brows? Do we spend most of our time at subsistence living? Has communication and travel improved?

What arena of life isn't better?
 
Those warnings were written to a particular audience.

Well you will be befuddled when it all hits the fan in the not too distant future.

Wake up! Look around! Notice what's going on in the world.



All mankind. Is medical care better? Is food preservation and growth better? Is water cleaner and more accessible? Do we work less by the sweat of our brows? Do we spend most of our time at subsistence living? Has communication and travel improved?

None of this is true for the majority of the world's population

The liberals would say you are an elitist, a white supremacist, and various other things they call people who ignore the majority of people in the world living in poverty which is actually true.

So you think Christs second coming has happened? Since this is the Millenial reign going on, just where is Christ? There is something wrong with you.

It's all true. For example, India was always having problems feeding their population. The storms would destroy their wheat crops. Scientists used genetic modification to produce a sturdier wheat that wasn't destroyed in the storms. Stories like these can be found throughout the world.

You still haven't shown me what aspect of human living that isn't better since the cross. Can you?

Try to stay on topic. What aspect of human living is not better since the cross?
 
See your superiority? You alone have had a good teacher, you alone know the way forward. You alone are able to discern such things. Good on you.

I am just an average, sound doctrinal believer.

The only reason you think I am taking a superior position?
Is because the fruit of your thinking, due to the quality of the inferior false doctrine you gravitate to,
will not grant God an open door to pour His grace into.

I am just an average, happy doctrinal believer.
Blame what you see about me to the fact that God will not, and can not, give you the spiritual self esteem that you could have
if you would only submit to God's will and start walking accurately in truth.

Admit it?
We both can not be walking in truth.

One can not counterfeit spiritual self esteem.
It is something that you can have.
But, you would need to accept corrections to be granted the grace to find it.

I wish you a nice Day...
 
More superiority. You deem who can post.

Still haven't seen the aspect of human life that has gotten worse since the cross. Can you share one?

Men can now have the indwelling Holy Spirit that causes them to see and discern sound doctrine to give them life.
That has gotten better since Pentecost for some who walk in grace.
Before then? Men could only walk according to the Law.

It has gotten better for those who find it.
 
But the only image we match according to your explanation is the WORD manifested in the flesh.


When man was created in the image of God no body existed yet.

For man?
What was created in the image of God was the human soul.

Angels are not souls.

They are spirits.
They too, were created in the image of God.
That is why they are also called "sons of God."

grace and peace .........
